It works both ways. If there is less incentive for me to stick with a single carrier, I'll always go for the one offering me the best price, regardless of my status on any given carrier.
- sokoloff 8y agoIf you fly only a handful of times per year, optimizing for current cost is probably the best plan anyway. If you fly a lot for work, the company may have a preferred carrier (ours is Delta), and the status you accrue from work travel may allow you to book domestic economy and almost always get upgraded to First class. (Basically, unless I’m flying out of Atlanta on Friday eve or into on Sunday PM/Monday AM, I’m >75% for an upgrade.) This makes me fairly likely to choose Delta for personal domestic travel, as long it’s within a couple hundred bucks of another carrier (or unless that other carrier is Spirit and the price difference is less than $500,000...)
